The story follows the Murry family, which is comprised of a traumatised teenager Meg, her intelligent five-year-old brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe), and Meg's classmate Calvin O'Keefe (Levi Miller), on their pursuit to find their scientist father Doctor Alex Murry (Chris Pine).
The children are then visited by a mysterious woman called Mrs. Whatsit - played by Reese Witherspoon - and discover their father may have travelled to space after his successful research.
The kids make a plan to track down their father and begin a journey to a planet called Camazotz, which is ruled by an evil brain.
The 13-year-old actress is set to star alongside American chat show host Oprah Winfrey, who will play Mrs Which, Mindy Kaling as Mrs Who and Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Dr. Kate Murry.
